Expansion of the Inspection Services Agreement Program

An Inspection Services Agreement (ISA) allows a local jurisdiction to enforce installation and permitting standards on behalf of the Arizona Department of Housing. These standards apply specifically to manufactured homes, mobile homes and factory built buildings and are set forth in various statutes and rules. In an effort to promote the ISA program, the Department has recently added a designated liaison to collaborate and offer support to local jurisdictions that opt to partner with the Department in this capacity. Each agreement can be catered to best meet the needs of the local jurisdiction. For example, a local jurisdiction may have interest in the inspection of factory built buildings but would rather the Department maintain responsibility for permitting and inspecting manufactured and mobile homes. The Department welcomes the opportunity to work with each jurisdiction to find a suitable and efficient method for permitting and inspection services to be administered while promoting expeditious results for the consumer.
